Garbage disposals are rare in New York
lmao.
Have you ever even been to NY ? (incarceration excluded)
Are ranges and microwave ovens also rare there?
Do ranges and microwaves clog up old-pipe drainage systems or sit and fester in a drain pipe horizontal to one's neighbor?

Are garbage disposals illegal in New York City? How do you get caught and what’s the penalty?
A: Garbage disposals have been
legal in New York for more than a decade now, but our
BrickTankexperts confirm that many if not most New York City apartment buildings—particularly prewars—still don’t allow them.
Unfortunately, the older pipes that serve many of the city’s vertical villages tend to have so much sludge and scaling in their waste lines that the additional ground-up waste produced by a garbage disposal can result in clots, back-ups, overflows and property damage, say property managers
Thomas Usztoke and
Michael Wolfe.
Sometimes the clogs are only an issue in part of the building, however.
In his co-op, says Manhattan architect
William W. Suk, a horizontal pipe connects two vertical pipes partway up the building.
“The food waste built up over time and eventually the 50 year old pipe gave way and burst into the apartment below,” he says. “Not a pretty scene.” << ---

If ignorance is bliss you must be one happy guy.

Sorry your parrotmaster talking points forgot to tell you this part and made you look stupid, but that's the price for parroting isn't it.
And hey, congratulations are in order for your "affinity for dogged ignorance". Woof.
